Howard Core Conservatory C20 Model Viola Outfit

The Core Conservatory Viola is a beautifully crafted advancing-level instrument that combines traditional European tonewoods with refined modern craftsmanship. Built for players progressing toward professional technique, it delivers the warmth, balance, and projection expected of a high-quality workshop viola.

Featuring a European spruce top and maple back and sides, this model produces a rich, resonant tone that remains clear and articulate across all registers. The sound is warm yet focused, providing excellent responsiveness for both solo and ensemble performance. Its craftsmanship and tonal refinement make it a natural step up from student models — ideal for advancing students, private study, or orchestral work.

Outfitted with ebony Parisian eye fittings, a Guarneri model ebony chinrest, and a Despiau “C” level French bridge, this viola offers precision, durability, and aesthetic elegance. A Wittner composite tailpiece with fine tuners ensures smooth, reliable tuning, while D’Addario Helicore strings provide tonal clarity and stability suited to a wide range of playing styles.

Available in 15", 15.5", 16", and 16.5" sizes, the Core Conservatory Viola is professionally adjusted for comfort, playability, and projection — a trusted companion for the advancing violist.
